Paddy Power Offer – Andy Murray Price Boost

With Djokovic out, it’s Murray’s to win and Paddy Power are getting in the action. They’ve enhanced Andy Murray to win gold at Rio 2016 from evens to a tasty 6/4! Translated into matched betting terms, this gives us a guaranteed profit of £4.02 and here’s how…

The maximum stake for this price boost is £20.00.

I like to place my exchange lay bets with Smarkets as they have great liquidity, the site is really easy to use and they only charge 2% commission in comparison to the 5% charged by other betting exchanges.

We can calculate our lay stake using my matched betting calculator…

Lay £24.51 on Andy Murray @ 2.06 = Potential liability of £25.98

Let’s have a look at our profit/loss for the two potential outcomes…

Andy Murray wins + £30.00 – £25.98 = £4.02 profit
Andy Murray doesn’t win – £20.00 + £24.02 (£24.51 minus 2% commission) = £4.02 profit

So, regardless of who wins the tournament, we’ll make a guaranteed profit of £4.02 on this Paddy Power offer!
